I am kicking the tires on something wondering if there is there any demand for a 1.5mm line that holds a Taut Line Hitch like a champ? I have been R&Ding such a line for a little while now as I am trying to start making a few lines under 2mm. This one will be the first one to be released.
Construction is as follows:
1.5mm Dyneema/Polyester Blend, Dyneema for strength, low stretch, cut resistance, Polyester for color and knot holding
It has twice as much Dyneema in it vs. my Ironwire Sheath in 2mm. So its pretty tough stuff.
Single Braid, 8 strand
Not Splicable, as its braided super tight (that is what makes it a good taut line hitch line)
Break strength is probably around 175-200lbs. Its strong for its size but it was designed to be a good taut line hitch line, not be as strong as possible..
Weight is about .90oz per 50'.
Starting price is going to be $10 for 50'. $18 for 100'. $.15 per foot for spools 300' and longer. So $45 for a 300' spool.
I will run it in Orange, Yellow, Lime, Black, Olive Drab, and Red. I already have some orange made as that is what I have been using for sampling. I am interested to hear peoples thoughts.
Thanks,
Lawson
